'Varna' Effect on 'Rudramadevi'

The experimental flick of ‘Varna’ is a declared disaster for now both in Telugu and Tamil versions. The imaginative sense of Selva Raghavan failed to take a right shape on screen. With plenty of cinematic liberties and complexities in story, common audiences are finding it difficult to understand the film. Anyways, Anushka and Arya have delivered a commendable performance which is coming as a savior for some extent.

Meanwhile, market and trade analysts who have compared ‘Varna’ as a magnum opus on par with ‘Arundathi’ are now in dilemma on what kind of effect this disaster movie will have on future projects of Anushka. Yes, they are ‘Rudramadevi’ and ‘Bahubali.’ While Gunasekhar is leaving no stone unturned on ‘Rudramadevi’ with huge budget already poured, Rajamouli is carving ‘Bahubali’ inch by inch. While Prabhas and brand value of SS Rajamouli are there to open the market on a high note, can Gunasekhar’s ‘Rudramadevi’ survive alone on Anushka’s charisma?
